FREDERICK W. BAKER, Editor.
The Deer Greek and Susquehanna Rail
road

An important meeting of the corporators
and other friends of the Deer Creek and
Susquehanna Railroad was held at Indian
Spring farm, the residence of Mr. Johns H.
Janney, on the 9TH instant. Besides Mr.
Janney, the chairman, there were present
Geo. E. Silver, Benz. Silver, Jr., S. A. Will
liams, Joshua Husband James Lee, w.

Edward S. Edge, ]. c. Thompson, Geo. L.

land.
The meeting was called to consider the
whether or not there was a sufficient pros
pect of success to justify a continued ef-
fort on the part of the incorporators.
Mr.. Edward G. Price stated that the sub
scriptions amount 10 $43,250, including a
subscription of $4,000 by Mr.. Hugh J. Jew
cit.
The question what was to be done then
arose. During its discussion it became evi,
dent that the general opinion was that
the enterprise should be continued as long
as there is any hope of obtaining sufficient
subscriptions 10 insure lite success. AS some
expressed it, "If we keep on hammering at it
we can't fail to get railroad in the end"
The fact was pointed out that when the
Maryland Central Company began work
they had not much more in proportion 10
the amount required to build their road
than the incorporators of the Deer Creek
Railroad have.
The best ways and means of furtherng
the project were then discussed, and it was
decided TO organize the Company by the
election OF directors. In the mean time
committee was appointed to solicit add-
tional subscriptions through the section of
country already canvassed, and another
to arrange for public meetings at Bel Air,
with view of soliciting subscriptions con-
ditional on the road having Bel Air coz
nection.
The meeting was characterized by tone
of encouragement and fixed determination
to leave no stone unturned to secure success.
The opinion was expressed that the peo-
pie most concerned are waking up to an ap-
probation of their need for q railroad and
are beginning to believe in the ability of this
home enterprise movement 10 give them
what they want.

WILMA FARMERS, CaUn.

The April meeting of the wilma Farmers Club
was held at "Woodside," the residence of X. II.
Bovine. q. Amoss, of the Fallston Club, was
present. and his company and advice were ap-
preciated by the members. After the club re-
turned from inspecting the farm, our hostess
invited us to supper, and we enjoyed her nice
bread and biscuit which were made from flour
manufactured by e. e. Phillips, of Jerusalem
Mills, by the new roller process, and pronounced
by the members equal to any made from the eel
ebrated Minneapolis brands. Old Hartford evil
IDENTIFY keeps pace with other parts Of our go-a-
head country. The committee on inspection re-
ported that on account of the cold evening, they
only visited the garden and barn. No gardening
had been done, but the small fruit was looking
well, and gave promise of bountiful supply, es-
pecially the strawberries. The buildings were In
good repair.
The subject for discussion, "Plows and Plow-
ing" was very interesting. The Oliver and Syr-
acuse chilled plows appeared to be the favorites
partly on account of their first having been in
PRODUCED, but 1t was admitted that all of the new
chilled pows did good work.
In regard to the right depth TO pillow, various
opinions were expressed. Some preferred to
pillow deep and turn up little of the subsoi,
while others contended that good crops had been
raised by shallow blowing, but good deal de-
pended on the season. In a wet season shallow
blowing might produce good crop. but in dry
one, deep blowing would do better. Each far
mer would have to be his own judge of the right
depth, rs soils were so different that no general
plan could be adopted.
The club adjourned to meet at "Woodsview,"
the residence OF Thomas Hollingsworth, May 4th.

AN INSURANCE CAsE.-On Monday Judge
Walters heard arguments in the case of John
Chatterton VS.. the Agricultural Insurance Com
pany of New York Mr.. Chatterton's stable
and contents, insured in the company for
about s400, were destroyed by fire. The COM
pany failing to pay the insurance for some rea-
son, Mr.. Chatterton brought suit in the Circuit
Court for Hartford county. The law requires
that the writ of summons in such case shall be
served upon the agent of the company in the
county where the loss occurred and a copy
thereof left at the principal place of business of
the company in the State. The Sheriff served
the writ on Mr.. David L. Pyle, the Hartford
county agent of the company, and not knowing
any other place Of bu siness of the company in
the State, also left copy of the writ with him.
Counsel for the company, Mr.. Geo. l. VanBib-
ber made motion 10 quash the writ, on the
ground that copy had not been left at the
company's principal place of business, which
is in Baltimore. The motion was argued by
Mr.. Henry W. Archer and Col. Herman stump
for Mr.. Chatterton, and by Mr.. VanBbber for
the company The court held that the copy of
the writ should have been left at the Office in
Baltimore, and qua5hed the writ but intimat ed
that the point was merely technical because
the defendant had notice of the suit and was in
court to make objection. Consequently new
writ of summons must be issued, returnable at
the May term of court.

The destruction by fire, ON Tuesday
night, of the business portion of the flourish
ing town of Onancock, on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia, is another illustration of the folly
of neglecting to provide water supply for

authorities took steps 10 organize fire de-
partment and procure fire-extingushing ap-
paratus. With these the fire, it is believed,
could have been checked before much dam
age was done. Twenty-lhree buildings were
